Ablation of a mitral annulus (MA)-ventricular tachycardia (VT), a rare form of idiopathic left VT, has not yet been described in patients <2 years of age. We describe a case of a toddler with an incessant, poorly tolerated idiopathic VT (190 bpm) refractory to medical therapy, which was successfully ablated in the left ventricle at the infero-posterior part of the MA. Different diagnostic and ablation steps are described. Mitral annulus-ventricular tachycardia, a rare form of idiopathic left VT, can safely and successfully be ablated in very young children.
